After an awkward masturbation accident, Sai is guilted into moving back in with his father, forcing them to bridge the chasm left by the death of Sai's mother years prior.

'Barely Breathing' is a dark comedy about Sai, who is guilted into moving in with his father and stepmother after an embarrassing autoerotic asphyxiation (AEA) accident. In order to get his dad off his back, Sai begins "hanging" with an AEA support group filled with lovable misfits - but humor can only hide so much. As Sai begins to get comfortable, the distance between him and his father grows deeper, forcing the family to cope with the loss of Sai's mother ten years prior.
